| Obverse description | Central field displays a crowned shield bearing the Aragonese arms, surmounted by a cross-crowned orb or finial device, rendered in a bold, somewhat crude hammered style characteristic of late medieval Sicilian coinage. The shield is flanked by decorative elements within a circular border. The peripheral Latin legend reads + MARTIN :DEI :GRA, identifying Martino I as co-ruler by divine grace. The coin's irregular flan and rough surfaces are consistent with hand-struck production of the period. |

| Reverse description | Central field depicts two standing crowned figures facing one another, identified as the co-rulers Maria I and Martino I of Sicily, rendered in a schematic, frontal posture typical of late 14th-century hammered Sicilian denari. The figures appear to hold regalia between them, occupying the majority of the field within a plain inner circle. The surrounding Latin peripheral legend reads + MARIA :DEI :GRA, affirming Queen Maria's authority by divine grace. The overall design reflects the joint-rule iconographic convention employed on Sicilian coinage of this period. |
